What customers say about "Key Specs"

Mackie MR6MK3 6-Inch 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor

Perfectly matched amps and drivers for optimized performance.
The output is about 65 watts which is more than enough for a large room but the quality of that sound is what sets these apart.
This speaker sounds great and turned out to be quite powerful.
If you are considering these Mackie MR mk3 series speakers then you must be an audiophile.
Pricey (the price is for one speaker), the price point seems high.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Mackie MR6MK3 6-Inch 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor

The size and sound was perfect for our room size, which was about 3,000 square feet.
They have a weak low end, which is okay for monitors this size.
The set up process was extremely simple and easy, just plug and play, although the weight of each speaker was heavier than I expected.
If you plan on using them as desktop monitors, they are quite wide and deep, so make sure you have enough space.
I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the size because these are bigger than I expected.

What customers say about "Audio"

Mackie MR6MK3 6-Inch 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor

So I use these monitors with my computer set up too and again I am very impressed with the sound quality. Very flat response and great power.
Very clear and distortion free even at higher volumes. Fantastic low response that is clear and not muddy at all.
They sound quite phenomenal, the built in amplifiers drive them beautifully with minimal distortion across the frequency response.
The highs are also crystal clear and depending on the quality of the source, create a nice image of the sound.
They have a weak low end, which is okay for monitors this size.

What customers say about "Features"

Mackie MR6MK3 6-Inch 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor

This new improved monitor is heavy at weighing just over 12 pounds and being well constructed of a solid all wood cabinet.
This speaker provide seamless transition from high to low frequencies give you a crystal clear true sound.
What you get is a high output with controlled low frequency performance.
They are a much better solution to PC speakers but I do recommend getting a good interface or sound card to make sure you are utilizing the speakers to their full potential.
With TRS and XLR jacks, this monitor isn't recommended for the general consumer, but for audio professionals and hobbyists only.
